If your planning on welding thin stuff like car bodies then a stick welder is not the easiest of options to master. I generally preffer mig for stuff around 2mm or thinner.

We have been using a cheap machine mart stick welder for years at home and its still going well, though the standard cables, clamp and electrode holder have been replaced with more heftier versions. Buying good quality rods and keeping them dry also helps.__________________________________The Lord helps them as helps them selves
